Question

in mongodb shell client,
how can I query to find documents with single quotes?
I escaped the quote mark in regex.
but it does not work.

db.coll.find({field: /\'/})

Answer 1

This should work:

db.coll.find({field: /\x27/});

Where 0x27 is Unicode APOSTROPHE

From documentation:

MongoDB regex queries support UTF-8 in the regex string.
